Appendix 1 – Crew Lists of HIMS Vostok and Mirnyi Appendix 1 – Crew Lists of HIMS Vostok and Mirnyi The crew lists were translated from (CL) but without the pay rates. Five names added from Two Seasons or the post-voyage report on crew status (Moller, 1821) are marked with asterisks. The lists do not give patro- nymics and do not identify any cooks. The statement that Nikita Il’in was of ‘officer rank’ (TS, 1: 9) may simply mean that he was a gentleman but not yet a commissioned officer. The crew status report confirms the presence of a third, unidentified servant on Vostok and so corroborates Bellingshausen’s tally of 189 people without the chaplain (TS, 1: 7–9), in short 190 people.

As he did so, he noted that three men had died: ‘1 from disease, 1 fell, and another drowned during a storm’ (de Traversay, 1821, l. 22). Each of the three, and one more, deserves notice in this book. Fëdor Istomin – 21 February 1820 Seaman First Class Istomin died from typhoid fever, a disease which is spread in human faeces. In those days it was a common infection ashore but less virulent at sea, where human excreta went overboard. In Bellingshausen’s opinion, surgeon Galkin’s efforts were defeated as much by the harsh climate of the Southern Ocean as by the disease itself. The particulars of the expedition’s first fatality appear in the offi- cial tally of personnel as of its return to Kronstadt (Moller, 1821). Bellingshausen also mentioned this death several times (B7, B10; TS, 1: 218). As shown in Chapter 9, the version given by Mikhail Lazarev (L1) was surprisingly inaccurate. Much later, Pavel Novosil’skii also claimed that, as of March 1820, everyone in the expedition was in the best of health (1853a: 62). Perhaps he meant, everyone still with the expedition. Vostok’s latitude was approximately 66º34′32″ S, headed north, and Mirnyi’s station was behind her. This hitherto unknown seaman thus turns out to have been the first person to die and be buried (at sea) in the Antarctic. And Hieromonach Dionisii was the first priest to conduct a funeral service there. Matvei Gubin – Sunday, 14 May, to Tuesday, 23 May 1820 Seaman First Class Gubin was Vostok’s blacksmith. (For the misspelling of his surname, see Chapter 1: n. 7.) The date of his death was recorded in Two Seasons and in Moller (1821), but the date of his fall is unclear. In different places Bellingshausen said that Gubin died three, six, or nine days after falling. The third version, published in Two Seasons, has been followed here. 218 Four Deaths 219 Gubin fell about 14m from the top of the first section of the mainmast and landed on a belaying pin fixed at the main- knight, just behind the mast (B8; B10; TS, 1: 294; Moller, 1821, l. 4). Belaying pins were short metal or wooden rods fixed vertically into horizontal racks in different places on a ship, where they were used to make fast or ‘belay’ the running ropes. The knight was a structure abaft the mainmast in which massive posts, hold- ing the sheaves used for large lifting tackles, were linked and braced with such belaying pin racks (Luchininov, 1973b: 6, 14). Gubin was wounded severely in the buttocks and died from the resulting haemorrhage. When he fell, Gubin had been fitting some copper sheeting at the top of the first section of the mainmast, so as to prevent wear from the stropy. In both Russian and English nautical diction the common- est object to be called a ‘strop’ was one of the rope or iron bands used to bind and secure the countless blocks (pulley assemblies) that were needed to guide ropes and reduce hauling loads. But Bellingshausen identified these stropy by their location rather than by their function, as he would have done for blocks. So it is safe to infer, with Debenham (Bellingshausen, 1945, 1: 193), that he was referring to a well- known source of friction, the assembly by which the mainyard (or any other lower yard) was suspended, in front of the top of a mast section, from the frame which supported the next section (in this case the main topmast), a structure known as the trestle- trees. In larger warships of this date the centre of each wooden yard was bound with one or more iron collars, trusses or hoops (bugeli, beifuty) incorporating metal eyes to which short chains, known as slings, could be attached below the trestle- trees. According to Luchininov, however, who had seen her plans, Vostok used a simpler form of construction, in which the slings were passed directly around the yard (1973b: 9). And slings, as well as strops, were called stropy in Russian (Reehorst, 1849: 178). The crew status report explains that Gubin was working ‘under the maintop’, and that is confirmed by Bellingshausen’s statement that he fell from the catharpins (B10). Catharpins were short straps used to brace in the footings of the topmast rigging, known as the futtock- shrouds, which were passed outside the maintop (or trestle- trees) and then secured to the top of the mainmast just below it. Once that struc- ture, supporting the topmast, was in place, access to the aft- side, in particular, of the top of the mainmast would have been extremely awk- ward. Although friction between mainmast and mainyard was confined to the front and sides of the mast, Gubin was perhaps trying to fasten the copper collar at the back. That would explain why he fell onto the main- knight, which stood behind the mast. 220 Appendix 2 There were two new hospitals in Sydney, and the squadron was due to call there again after a few months. Bellingshausen was minded to leave Gubin behind, but Vostok’s surgeon, Yakov Berkh, assured him that the patient would recover at sea. Three days after sailing, however, Gubin died. Filimon Bykov – Monday, 11 September 1820 Fair wind; the Emperor’s name day. They held a service of thanksgiving and fired a salute. Then: The weather allowed Captain Lazarev and the rest of the officers to spend the whole day with me on Vostok. We shared heartfelt reminiscences of our dear fatherland, our families and friends, bridging the immeasurable distance that separated us from them.

To compensate for this apparent injustice, Kommersant Vlast analytical weekly has compiled The Entire Russian Fleet directory. It is especially topical since even Russia’s Commander-in-Chief compared himself to a slave on the galleys a week ago. The directory lists all 238 battle ships and submarines of Russia’s Naval Fleet, with their board numbers, year of entering service, name and rank of their commanders. It also contains the data telling to which unit a ship or a submarine belongs. For first-class ships, there are schemes and tactic-technical characteristics. So detailed data on all Russian Navy vessels, from missile cruisers to base type trawlers, is for the first time compiled in one directory, making it unique in the range and amount of information it covers. The Entire Russian Fleet carries on the series of publications devoted to Russia’s armed forces. Vlast has already published similar directories about the Russian Army (#17-18 in 2002, #18 in 2003, and #7 in 2005) and Russia’s military bases (#19 in 2007).

  • 1 17 Massov, A. Ia. the Flag of St Andrew Under the Southern Cross One of the Most Important and Significant Scientific Results
    17 Massov, A. Ia. The Flag of St Andrew Under the Southern Cross One of the most important and significant scientific results of the presence of Russian seaman in Australia was the collecting of geological, botanical, and zoological collections, all of which found their way into the museums of Russia. The assembling of collections of so-called rarities constituted one of the duties of certain participants of all the round-the-world expeditions, regardless of the objectives of the latter. The collecting process would continue throughout the voyage. It would certainly not be an exaggeration to assert that, within the context of the early 19th century, items from Australia and Oceania made up one of the most interesting and valuable parts of the material in question. The greater part of these and other such collections were assembled by the mariners themselves; only seldom were items bought or received, already prepared, as gifts from others. This was the case, however with the Herbarium, of a specially rare varieties of Australian flora, presented by Governor Maquarrie to M.N. Vasiliev to be transferred subsequently, as a present, to the dowager empress Maria Fyodorovna. In the second and third decades of the 19th century, large quantities of material suitable for biological collections were still to be found in the immediate vicinity of European settlements. Captain M.N. Vasiliev even found himself obliged to issue an order banning the shooting of birds around the tents of the shore station, set up on the north shore of Port Jackson. The activity was not without some risk for the men undertaking repairs to the sloops.

  • Small State Autonomy in Hierarchical Regimes. the Case of Bulgaria in the German and Soviet Spheres of Influence 1933 – 1956
    Small State Autonomy in Hierarchical Regimes. The Case of Bulgaria in the German and Soviet Spheres of Influence 1933 – 1956 By Vera Asenova Submitted to Central European University Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor: Prof. Julius Horváth Budapest, Hungary November 2013 Statement I hereby state that the thesis contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Vera Asenova ………………... ii Abstract This thesis studies international cooperation between a small and a big state in the framework of administered international trade regimes. It discusses the short-term economic goals and long-term institutional effects of international rules on domestic politics of small states. A central concept is the concept of authority in hierarchical relations as defined by Lake, 2009. Authority is granted by the small state in the course of interaction with the hegemonic state, but authority is also utilized by the latter in order to attract small partners and to create positive expectations from cooperation. The main research question is how do small states trade their own authority for economic gains in relations with foreign governments and with local actors. This question is about the relationship between international and domestic hierarchies and the structural continuities that result from international cooperation. The contested relationship between foreign authority and domestic institutions is examined through the experience of Bulgaria under two different international trade regimes – the German economic sphere in the 1930’s and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) in the early 1950’s.

Title: Russia marches South: army reform and battlefield performance in Russia’s Southern campaigns, 1695-1739 Issue Date: 2017-04-26 CHAPTER 2 FRIENDS, FOES AND FRENEMIES IN THE SOUTH If the period from the end of the seventeenth to mid eighteenth century was a chessboard, then opposite Peter’s desire to assert his authority and power over vast territory stood important political and military players who were determined to put an end to his “march”. The following chapter will be divided into several subsections, each dealing with a particular element of the complex geopolitical puzzle that the Pontic region from the first decades of the eighteenth century resembled. Firstly, the focus will be on Russia’s chief adversary – the Ottoman Empire, a foe as determined and as ambitious as the tsarist state itself. Then the main features of the Crimean Khanate, as an element of the overall Ottoman military system, will be defined. However, the Khanate was a player in its own right and pursued its own interests which will also be presented in the current chapter. Next the dissertation will outline the development and the downfall of Safavid’s military and political power, followed by the establishment of a new force under the ambitious and talented Nadir Shah. The subchapter “At the Edge of Empires - the Pontic Frontier and its People” will examine the soldiers of the steppe – Cossacks, Kalmyks, and Nogais, who were an essential element of the social and military ethos of the Pontic frontier and played crucial role in the events, which will be analyzed in detail in the second part of the research.

  • (Naval) Cadet Corps the Sea Cadet Corps
    Sea (Naval) Cadet Corps The Sea Cadet Corps (Russian: Морской кадетский корпус), occasionally translated as the Marine Cadet Corps or the Naval Cadet Corps, is an educational establishment for training Naval officers for the Russian Navy in Saint Petersburg. It is the oldest existing high school in Russia. History The first maritime training school was established in Moscow as the Navigational School in 1701. The School was moved to St Petersburg in 1713 as the Naval Guard Academy. The school was renamed the Sea Cadet Corps on 17 February 1732 and was the key training establishment for officers to the Imperial Russian Navy. In 1800, with the offering of a 'forstmeister' course, the first formal training program for foresters in Russia was established at the academy. On 15 December 1852 the school was enlarged and renamed the Gentry Sea Cadet corps (Морской шляхетный кадетский корпус) with an intake of 360 students. A new building on Vasilievsky Island was also built to house the school. Following the destruction of the building in a fire in 1771 the school transferred to Kronstadt until 1796 when the Czar Paul I ordered a new building in the capital. The school expanded and became the Maritime College in 1867 and renamed again to the Sea Cadet Corps in 1891. The Corps was granted a Royal charter in 1894 and closed after the revolution in 1918 Post Revolution The College reopened in 1918 to train officers for the new Red Navy between 1926 and 1998 the school was named in honour of Mikhail Frunze. The school was merged with another Naval school in 2001 and renamed the Peter the Great Sea Cadet Corps of the St Petersburg Naval Institute.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO SMUGGLER STATES: POLAND, LATVIA, ESTONIA, AND CONTRABAND TRADE ACROSS THE SOVIET FRONTIER, 1919-1924 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVISION OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ANDREY ALEXANDER SHLYAKHTER CHICAGO, ILLINOIS DECEMBER 2020 Илюше Abstract Smuggler States: Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Contraband Trade Across the Soviet Frontier, 1919-1924 What happens to an imperial economy after empire? How do economics, security, power, and ideology interact at the new state frontiers? Does trade always break down ideological barriers? The eastern borders of Poland, Latvia, and Estonia comprised much of the interwar Soviet state’s western frontier – the focus of Moscow’s revolutionary aspirations and security concerns. These young nations paid for their independence with the loss of the Imperial Russian market. Łódź, the “Polish Manchester,” had fashioned its textiles for Russian and Ukrainian consumers; Riga had been the Empire’s busiest commercial port; Tallinn had been one of the busiest – and Russians drank nine-tenths of the potato vodka distilled on Estonian estates. Eager to reclaim their traditional market, but stymied by the Soviet state monopoly on foreign trade and impatient with the slow grind of trade talks, these countries’ businessmen turned to the porous Soviet frontier. The dissertation reveals how, despite considerable misgivings, their governments actively abetted this traffic. The Polish and Baltic struggles to balance the heady profits of the “border trade” against a host of security concerns shaped everyday lives and government decisions on both sides of the Soviet frontier.
